The largest of Sweetacres’ accommodation offerings, The Homestead will make you feel instantly relaxed and welcome. Privately tucked away behind a forest of Casuarina trees, this well-appointed and spacious residence is high on style and ideal for a small group of up to 10 family, friends, concert, or wedding guests to stay together.
Featuring 4 stylish bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the interiors are beautiful and deliver high style and comfort. Featuring an open plan gourmet kitchen, living, and dining room with vaulted ceilings with French doors that opens to The Homestead’s generous wrap around verandas with views to Sweetacres’ billabong. Entertaining is a joy with a gas BBQ, outdoor dining table and lounge chairs - perfect for a sunset meal or finding a tranquil spot to read a magazine with a glass of wine in hand on warm evenings.
In the cooler months, snuggle up and reminisce about your Hunter adventures or watch a movie by the wood burning combustion fireplace in the living room and enjoy the comfort of reverse cycle air-conditioning to keep you toasty at night.
The Homestead at Sweetacres offers so much peace, relaxation, and enjoyment for guests onsite as well as being ideally located to take advantage of the many cellar doors, restaurants, attractions, and activities within moments of your cottage. Sample the delights of Hermitage Road and dine at Botanica, and Piggs Peake. Sample excellent food and brew at The Farm where you can horse ride, take a Segway tour, or meet the animals! Enjoy terrific hospitality whilst wine-tasting at neighbouring Hunter Wine Lab, Wombat Crossing, Thomas Wines, Ironbark Hill Brewhouse, Keith Tulloch or Tintilla.

For the active at heart, take a bush walk around Sweetacres’ walking tracks past the billabong and the casuarina woodlands or, wander across the lawn to enjoy The Deck leisure area or a dip in the refreshing shared Guest saltwater pool.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2024
We stayed at The Manor as a base for our wedding. Easy access for make up, hair stylist, photographer and videographer to do their work easily. As a blended family it was comfortable and convenient to prepare for our Wedding at Peterson House. Highly recommend The Manor for a family stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
We went to a wedding at Peppers. The Manor was perfect for my large family, with the 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms for everyone to get ready. Will definitely book a longer stay next time!
Highly recommend this house, just beautiful.!

This property was beautiful and the perfect place for my daughter and her bridesmaids to get ready for her wedding. The setting and the scenery of the property is so lovely. The house is very spacious and had everything you would need. Communication with property manager prior was excellent. Totally recommend for any group of family and/or friends.
